Student Reading Ability Spikes After Removing Tech From Class

5. It has to do with memory

Motor circuits reinforcing what you are seeing/hearing. Activating more parts of the brain at once.

Print works too, but it takes a lot longer to bulk write and I suspect the flourish afforded to someone when developing their handwriting activates some other brain regions.

When I used to teach middle school, you could in my lesson plans when I was thinking granularly versus thinking holistically -- I write in very meticulous print when noting time, format, objectives, etc. When I write narratives, I write with a tight angular cursive (that I am very proud of).

It wasn't until after years of lesson planning that I noticed my brain switches that way.
